Some cases vary in thickness. Has anyone experienced issues with charging due to a thicker case? Such as an Otterbox Defender or Lifeproof?

I have the Otterbox Defender around my Note2 and my Note 4. The triple-coil design works fantastic on both phones - Never had an issue with the connection.

I've had issues with anything thick using this charger. without a case it charges the nexus 4 without issue. With a case is completely different. I've discovered that the Lugulake wireless chargers are far better.

My husband uses an Otterbox case and it charges just fine with it on. I use a hard slim case and it also works with no problems. We LOVE our charger and would never go back to plugging in our phones.

From my experience the otterbox defender case is too "thick", you will need to take it off in order to use this.

I have the otter box defender for my iPhone and one similar for my ipad. The cord works with both. I tried my daughter's Lifeproof case and it is very hard to get the cord out. If you pull on the cord to get it out instead of on the connection it probably wouldn't take long to tear at where the cord meets the connector.

Hi Nessa, I actually never looked at the Otterbox Defender case. Decided to buy the lifeproof case after lots of research on the net. For our ipad 2 we bought a cheaper brand that claimed to do the same thing as the Lifeproof case. Unfortunately didn't even come close to the Lifeproof case. The Lifeproof case does everything it says it does and we like that it isn't bulky. We are really happy with our purchase. Hope this helps. Kathy

It has some thickness to it. I have never had a problem with regular cases from otter box to bell in. I'd say you might have an issue if it's a full coverage case, meaning it has a cover for the screen as well

I don't have experience with that particular case but I've used it with 3 different spigen cases and haven't had a problem yet. Seems like it'll charge through a pretty good distance of material.

I have no problems with my case. At first I had a little difficulty plugging in the charger, but now it's easy. Very good, strong case for protecting my phone.

For me, I didn't feel the need to get thicker cases as others have mentioned. If you are in rough environments, or are a bit of a klutz, those cases make sense. If you are fairly careful, you can use a smaller one. I chose Super Purple Hard Case Cover Premium Protector for LG Optimus F3 LS720 VM720 (by Virgin Mobile / Sprint) with Free Gift Reliable Accessory Pen . I've had similar cases on other Android phones, and they've done the job for me.

I Have been using it with the Otter box Defender case with out any problems. Other then you have to place it very carefully in the right place. I'm also using TYLT Vu Wireless Charger which I like better other then the price

We have a new dock that works for thicker cases like the otterbox. If there is an hesitation take a look at this dock. RND Dock for Samsung Galaxy S3 and/or S4 with Dock mode cable and 2.1A Charger (compatible without or with a case) (black)

It is not very thick, but we have had nothing but trouble with the one we have. The charger would not stay plugged in. If I had it to do over again I would spend the extra money and get a better one. Do not try to return if even one day over they will not give a refund.

I use a thick Otter Box case so it didn't work well. It should work with a thin case

I would agree with the other posters. I had one case that didn't fit, and just found one that does, but neither is as substantial as the Otterbox cases. The one that fits is the STM Skinny case. With or without a case, this charger requires a bit of finesse to use, but it's so handy for multiple devices that I don't mind the minor hassle.

Yes it does charge my phone through the thick case. It is a slower charge on the phone, but it does charge the phone.
